Definitions
- This invention relates to braking systems, and more particularly to'fluid pressure braking systems for motor vehicles.
- the invention comprehends a duplex fluid braking system for a motor vehicle, one for actuating the brakes associated with the front wheels of the vehicle and the otherfor actuating the brakes associated with the rear wheels of the vehicle, and means for actuating the two systems concomitantly.
- An object of the invention is to provide a duplex fluid pressure braking system having means for equalizing pressures in the systems.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a duplex braking system having a single actuating means.
- Another object of the invention is to provide two separate braking systems including a fluid pressure producing device having two cylinders with a piston movable in each of the cylinders, fluid pressure actuated motors operatively connected to each cylinder, friction elements actuated by each of the motors, and a single operating means for actuating the piston so as to produce equalizing pressures in the separate systems and to effectively operate one of the systems in the event of failure of the other system.

- Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the fluid pressure producing device
- Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the fluid pressure producing device substantially on line 33, Fig. 2;
- Fig. 4 is a sectional view substantially on line 4-4, Fig. 2;
- Fig. 5 is a sectional view substantially on line 5- 5, Fig. 2;
- the reservoir is provided with the convenviding communications between the cylinder and. the compartment l2 of the reservoir, a discharge port 30 controlled as by a two-way valve 32, and a vent 34 in the head of the cylinder for venting the cylinder to the atmosphere.
- a fluid pressure delivery pipe or conduit 36 connected to the valve 32 has branches connected respectively to fluid pressure actuated motors 38 for the actuation of the friction elements of the brakes.
- the cylinder 24 has an opening 40 for venting the cylinder to the atmosphere and ports 42 and 44 providing communications between the cylinder 24 and the compartment l4 of the reservoir, and a discharge port 46 controlled by a two-way valve 48.
- a fluid pressure delivery pipe or conduit 50 connected to the valve 48 has branches connected respectively to fluid pressure actuated motors 52 for the actuation'of the friction elements of the brakes.
- the motors 38 and 52 are arranged in pairs, one pair for actuating the brakes associated with the front wheels of a vehicle and the other pair for actuating the brakes associated with the rear wheels of the vehicle.
- the brakes may be of conventional type including a fixed support or backing plate 54, a rotatable drum 56 associated therewith, corresponding friction elements or shoes 58 pivoted on the backing plate, and a fluid pressure actuated motor corresponding to the motors 38 and 52 arranged on the backing plate and operative to move the shoes 58 into engagement with the drum 56 against theresis'tance of a retractile spring 60 connecting the shoes.
- a piston 62 reciprocable in the cylinder 22 is held against displacement by a washer 64 seated on an annular shoulder in the open end of the cylinder and secured in position by a retaining ring 66 seated in a continuous groove in the wall of the cylinder.
- the body of the piston has a reduced portion providing in conjunction with the wall of the cylinder an annular chamber 58 communicating with thecompartment l2 of the reservoir III by way of the port 25.
- a leak-proof washer 10 fittingted in a circumferential groove in the skirt of the piston is, a leak-proof washer 10 providing against seepage of fluid from the cylinder past the piston, and the head of the piston has a plurality of spaced ports 12 providing communications between the annular chamber 48 and that portion of the cylinder forward of the piston.
- a collapsible leak-proof cup 14 on the head of the piston controls the ports 12, and this cup hasa con centric flange embracing a pin I5 protruding concentrically from the head of the piston.
- the piston I8 has on its back a concentric stem 86 extending through an opening in the head of the cylinder. and engaging one end of a rocker arm 88 pivoted on a shiftable bracket, which may be secured in any desired position.
- a piston 80 reciprocable in the cylinder 24 has a concentric stem 92 extending through an opening in the cylinder and engaging the other end of the rocker arm 88.
- This piston has a reduced body portion providing in conjunction with the wall of the cylinder an annular chamber 94 communicating with the compartment I4 of the reservoir I0 by way of the port 42.
- the skirt of the piston has thereon a leak-proof washer 96 providing against. seepage of the fluid from the cylinder past the piston; and the head of the piston has spaced ports 08 providing communications between the annular chamber 94 and Y that portion of the cylinder forward of the piston.
- a collapsible leak-proof cup I00 seated on the head of the piston controls the port 98, and a spring I02 interposed between the cup I00 and the two-way valve 48 serves to retain the cup and valve against displacement and also to return the piston to its retracted position.
- the piston 62 has in its back a recess I04 for the receptionof one end of a thrust pin I06, on the other end of which is a coupling I08 connected as by a-flexible boot IIO to the open end of the cylinder 32 for the exclusion of dust and other foreign substances, and a rod II2 connects the coupling I08 to a foot pedal lever II4 pivotally mounted on a fixed support H6 and connected by a retractile spring II8 to a fixed support I20.
- the movement of the pistons I8 and 80 may be regulated to vary the pressures produced in the cylinders 22 and 24, which variation may be found desirable in providing proper braking relation between the brakes associated with the front wheels and those associated with the rear wheels of the vehicle.
- the cup I00 on the head thereof closes the port 44, and as the piston advances pressure is imposed on the fluid in that portion of thecylinder 24 forward of the piston resulting in displacement of fluid from the cylinder past the two-way valve 48, through the discharge port 46 and fluid pressure delivery pipe 60 into the fluid pressure actuated motors 62, causing energization of the motors with the resultant actuation of the friction elements of the brakes against the resistance of the retractile springs.
